Prep 5 min·Total 5 min·2 servings·VEGAN·115 kcal

Ingredients

1 cup black water (activated charcoal water) (approx. 250 ml (8.5 fl oz.))
4 tbsp chia seeds
vanilla (ground or a dash of extract)
2 tsp maple syrup (or to taste)
plant-based yogurt (for serving)
fresh berries (for serving, e.g. blackberries)

Equipment: Glass or mason jar

Instructions

1.Stir the black water, chia seeds, vanilla and maple syrup together well in a glass or bowl.
2.After about 10 minutes, stir vigorously once more so no lumps form.
3.Cover and let soak in the fridge overnight (at least 2-3 hours).
4.In the morning, give it a stir and serve topped with plant-based yogurt and fresh berries.

Notes

A tip from my kitchen: no black water at hand? Simply stir 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of food-grade activated charcoal powder into still water or plant-based milk – with plant milk the pudding turns out even creamier. Do give the pudding another good stir after the first 10 minutes so it thickens evenly. In a sealed jar it keeps for 3-4 days in the fridge – ideal for meal prep. And do note: activated charcoal can reduce the absorption of medication, so leave a few hours between the two.
